Going out of the US while waiting for an Interview

[Cali2513 0]

Hi Everyone,

I've been a green card holder since Jan 22,2008. I'm now eligible to apply for a US citizenship under a 3 years/spouse is American rule.I have already sent my application and got the biometric or finger print done on Dec 30th,2010. Now I'm waiting for an interview appointment.These 3 years as a resident,I have traveled out of the US all together 524 days out of the eligible 548 days.( 10 trips total and none of them lasted over 6 months) Most of these days has happened in 2009-2010 since my husband got laid off and got a new job aboard.(I have calculated my time by www.timeanddate.com)

Since I have 24 days left to spend out of the US, I'm planing to visit my husband aboard again. My questions is;

1.Would it be safe for me to use up the 24 days I have left visiting my husband before coming back for the interview?

2. If I leave Jan4-Jan22,2011,it will be all together 18 days. If I continue to stay in Kuwait after Jan22 for 2 more weeks before coming back for an interview, would these 2 weeks be counted as the time out of the US of my 3 years residency as well or they will be counted as on my 4th year of residency?

Just want to visit my husband before coming back for an interview and want to make sure that it will not cause me a problem on my citizenship process. We still have our house here in The US and I have filed tax return every year since 2007.

Thanks so very much in advance for your advice.

This is just my personal opinion, but I once tried to start a fire in my fireplace and did something really stupid: I poured some gasoline over the wood. When I lighted the match . . . . well you can imagine how my eyebrows looked!

You are placing an open canister full of gasoline in the fireplace. And now you are asking if it would be okay to light a match.

Happy New Year!
